Veterans
Swineshead Medical Group is a Veteran Friendly Practice
Swineshead Medical Group is working with NHS England and NHS Improvement and is an accredit Veteran Friendly GP practice. This programme supports practice to deliver the best possible care and treatment for patients who have served in the armed forces.
If you have served in the military and need help and support please call the practice and ask for David Harding. David is our appointed Veterans Support Officer and also the Practice Manager. He is a veteran himself and served in the RAF for 25 years.
The Boston Armed Forces Veterans Breakfast Club meets every Saturday at 0900 at the Sizzling Pub and Grill (was the Spirit of Endeavour), Marsh Lane, Boston, Lincolnshire, PE217QS. The Breakfast Clubs exist to help veterans, and often currently serving Armed Forces personnel, by meeting face to face, in a relaxed, safe and social environment. Our ethos is mutual support.
We understand that military life can bring extra pressures and want to ensure military families are not disadvantaged, such as when they are newly posted to an area and are unfamiliar with the support available. In July 2022 the Lincolnshire ICB introduced the new Military Maternity Project to help support military families on their parenthood journey. Find out more here.
